Gunners target has agreement to sign for Chelsea

Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira is understood to have a ‘verbal agreement’ in place to sign for Chelsea next summer, according to CaughtOffside.

The German international was widely expected to join Arsenal during this summer’s transfer window, but made the surprise decision to remain at the Bernabeu.

However, the 27-year-old is in the final year of his contract and is now expected to make the free transfer to Stamford Bridge next season.
